Haiti Missions Trips

On January 12, 2010 Haiti was struck with 7.0 earthquake. Over 300,000 people were killed and another one million were displaced. During the crisis response to help, police officers from the Northwest were asked to help the Haitian National Police and Fire (PNH). Responder Life sends three teams of police officers and firefighters to help.

Haitian police officers/firefighters receive little to no training beyond the academy. They are paid only $300.00 a month and work in very difficult circumstances with little support. Since 2010, Responder Life has sent over 130 officers, spouses, family and friends to serve in Haiti. They train, serve and build relationships with the PNH officers. The officers are accompanied by spouses, family and friends who serve in the orphanages, widow’s homes and in the communities.
